Hi all,

It has taken me till yesterday to catch up on all the chat everyone has been offering. I do wish I had met Ann at the market, someone who is on personal terms with Royalty WOW.....then I could say I shook hands with someone who shook hands with Prince Charles! Ann are you sure you are not a writer for "Last Of The Summer Wine ?."
Another little bit of trivia if you like, everything that was said about the I.O.G.T.Hall is correct, but did you know that those who belonged to it were called "White Ribboners"!.
I have had a ball reading everything since May 4th. will not comment on anything else as I could probably end up with a Novel. When I joined the Forum there was only 24 contributions, now see how many there are(4172)and counting.

Beano

Welcome back Beano. Had wondered where you'd gone. Did you ever notice how many peoplle "view". Where are they all. Come out, come out, wherever your are.

Beano, I heard you meet Mrs Mc Donald and had a long chat you had a good guide
Ann, I heard about you in Tescos telling Ann Smyth about her name being on the forum, maybe we will meet some time !
Margaret

welcome home Beano.
Hopefully you can restore some sanity to this lot.

Margaret, nice to meet you. Can you remind which Ann Smyth I spoke to in Tescos because I know two. Also, is Smyth her married name? Was it wee Ann Heasley who I caught having a smoke break outside with about 6 others. I gave her a wave, not a royal one, just me own.

Ann, Yes it was Ann (Heasley) Smyth. Someone told she was mentioned on the forum, I thought it was you.

Yes, Margaret, it WAS me. I see wee Ann in Tescos all the time. She works at the seafood counter. I still call all my friends by their former surnames so I wasn't sure which Ann Smyth it was. In fact, I didn't even know that Ann's married name was Smyth. She's still wee Ann Heasley to me. As I said before, we went to the Tech together.

Ann
please enlighten me, you are Ann ( Eithne ) Lavery, Joe,s brother and Pat who chats here is your sister?
right or wrong? I remember you but Pat eludes my ancient mind. Malachy and Leonard I remember also
Donald

Donald, I hve to confess I am Eithne (but I was christened Ann). Don't go into it. Yes, Leonard, Malachy, Joe and Damien were my brothers.

Donald, Pat is VERY old that's why you don't remember her. But, she's doing well for her age. She could tell us a thing or two.

Ann, I was the year behind you and Ann Heasley at the Tech, I remember Donald who is younger than me. At that time my husband worked in the workshops. margaret

Margaret, I wonder what your surname is. It wouldn't be Scott, would it, because I remember Tom Scott working in the workshops I think. He had a sister also called Margaret.
